Several years of cuLearn (Moodle) course content, including question banks, has been migrated for instructors at Carleton. Migrated course content will be available in a backup course in D2L Brightspace for instructors to access and review. Quiz question banks migrate to the Brightspace Question Library. Most simple quizzes migrate without issue; however, some quiz settings and question types migrate with complications or do not migrate at all. Question Libraries in converted courses should be reviewed before use to ensure that the questions function as expected.
NOTE: To see an overview of all the question types available in the Brightspace Question Library, with instructions for how to create each question type, please visit Creating Question Library Questions or watch a video overview of Brightspace Question Types. |
Migration trends for cuLearn Question Banks migrating to the Brightspace Question Library:
- question text and text formatting (bolding, italics, colored fonts, and hyperlinks) are generally maintained during migration
- videos and images within questions or answers migrate to Brightspace when the question bank is migrated as a whole course package
- question categories, called Sections in Brightspace, will generally migrate but will need to be reviewed and renamed
